See, there's the problem. You tried to humanize them. You can't euthanize the puppies if you think they're cute.

Borderlines suck the life out of you, if you let them. Even if you don't, they are exhausting to deal with.

*insert personality disorder here*s all suck the life out of you if you let them.

Isolating them from society doesn't leave them in the school that will teach them best.

Believe me when I say--society does NOT want them. That has been demonstrated to me again and again. NOBODY wants them. I am not talking about people who can be rehabilitated or "cured" or even "better"--I am talking about completely dysfunctional, unwanted, scary people. Child molesters, murderers, public masturbators, arsonists, people who REALLY< REALLY think they are divine. And some of them work out.

That's why I specified Personality Disorders. The only thing they lack is motivation sufficient to behave in a way that is tolerable in society.

And I used the word tolerable specifically as well. Nobody really wants to live next to a guy who hangs by his balls from a tree and flagelates himself, but is he really harming anyone?

That being said, anti-socials should, in general, be shot for being a danger to others.

As an alternative to prison, we could do Borderline Personality TV. Build a small apartment complex where the only requirement is to have BPD. You couldn't write a script that would compare with what happened in there.
